If you are pro-choice, highly organised, excited by big challenges and committed to helping people access safe, legal abortions, then the new role of Operations and New Service Coordinator at Abortion Support Network (ASN) could be the next step for you. 

ASN is a small but mighty UK-registered charity supporting people who are forced to travel to access safe, legal abortions from places where they are unable to access the healthcare they deserve. Since 2009 ASN has been contacted by over 5,000 people from Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Malta and Gibraltar. It’s an exciting time for ASN since the Irish referendum on repeal in 2018 brought change to Ireland, the Isle of Man also introduced abortion provision, and even in Northern Ireland the legislation changed in October this year. 

We’ve not hung up our helpline and we have no intention of doing so any time soon, while there are women and pregnant people close to home who need abortions. We’re committed to supporting the growth of the abortion funds movement, and to making sure that, until there is safe, legal, local abortion everywhere, activists like us are able to help people who need us. 

This new hire will join our existing staff team of c.90 active volunteers, CEO (0.8 FTE), Service & Volunteer Manager (FT) and our Bookkeeper (0.2 FTE). As Operations & New Service Coordinator you will play a crucial part in delivering ASN's existing services and supporting our brilliant volunteers. It's also an exciting opportunity to work closely with our existing staff to develop a new service that will provide support to even more people who cannot access the abortions they need at home. ASN is a small and dynamic organisation punching well above its weight - we have strong relationships with partners and collaborators, dedicated supporters and donors, and we're changing the lives of people who need abortions around Europe, and building the abortion funds movement. 

If you are interested in the role please read the job description and person specification below and submit your CV and a covering letter detailing how you would suit the role (each no more than two pages) before 9pm on Friday 6 December. Please note that any CVs sent without a covering letter will not be considered as a serious application. 

Interviews will be held in central London on Wednesday 18 December.

This is a sought-after opportunity to join our brand-new and ambitious Community & Events Fundraising Operations team as a Senior Community & Events Fundraising Operations Officer.

This is an exciting time to join a team in a considerable period of growth in Community & Events fundraising, raising £14m annually for Mind’s work to make sure that everyone with a mental health problem has somewhere to turn for support and advice. In joining this new operational team, you will have the opportunity to feed into and develop the values and culture of the C&E Fundraising Operations team and develop how the team will work with the wider Community, Events and Fundraising Development team.

You will be responsible for line managing 3-4 Community & Events Fundraising Operations Assistants, and you will lead and support them to develop and deliver processes to support the wider team and carry out pieces of ad hoc project work.

To apply, please follow the link below to our website.

Closing date: 12 noon, Tuesday 19 November 2019
Interviews: Thursday 28 – Friday 29 November 2019

Mind is committed to equality of opportunity for all staff, and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.

Background to the job: Acquired brain injury (ABI) is one of the commonest causes of death and disability in working age adults. Survivors of brain injury can live with a range of difficulties affecting their physical and cognitive functioning. Living with a brain injury can result in social isolation, mental health problems, difficulties with family relationships and unemployment.

Headway SELNWK is a medium size charity, over thirty years old, that supports people affected by ABI. We provide support services across SE London and North West Kent in the community and at our day service. Most of our members’ support is funded by social services or the NHS. Whilst we want to maximise this funding where possible, we also want to develop models of support that are not dependent upon statutory funding.

Headway has well established links with local hospitals notably with the Major Trauma Centre at Kings’ College Hospital.  We foster active links with a range of community providers including neurological rehabilitation and social work teams and other Third Sector organisations.

Headway SELNWK is entering a phase of new development and is looking to recruit an outstanding Director of Operations and Finance to oversee the development of its finance, human resources and IT processes. This person will combine technical skills in one or more of these areas with an evident passion for the charity’s mission to improve outcomes for people affected by ABI.

The Director of Operations and Finance will be responsible for overseeing the development of the charity’s finance, human resources and IT, ensuring that systems are effective and help to drive the charity’s mission. With technical skills in one or more of these areas, they will identify what is already working well and what could be improved, before drawing up short-, medium- and long-term priorities to improve the charity’s operations. As well as applying their technical skills, this will also require excellent project management, including the management of a small Operations team. The Director of Operations and Finance will enjoy working across a range of projects and will be able to strike the right balance between leading tasks themselves and working with their team and with external partners. As well as focusing on the immediate needs of the charity, part of the Director of Operations and Finance's remit will include laying the foundations for the capabilities that will be needed in the future as the charity grows. In particular, we want to implement our fundraising strategy with a view to eventually developing a fundraising team.

The ideal candidate will not necessarily have all of the required and desired characteristics, though they will certainly have real strengths in some of these areas. What is most important is that they will have a commitment to the charity’s mission and the tenacity and drive to achieve to very high standards. They will demonstrate a genuine openness to feedback and continuing improvement and will seek to learn from those within the organisation and its wider network of partners.

Responsibilities

While not exhaustive, the following list of responsibilities gives a comprehensive overview of the role:

• Senior leadership within the charity, feeding into strategic planning and decision-making by the charity’s Board and Executive
  • Working with the Director of Strategy and Business Development to ensure the operations structures of the charity can deliver its strategy
  • Working across the charity to develop systems and processes that are effective at all levels
• Overseeing the development of the charity’s finance department
  • Working with the Finance Working Group, payroll provider, bookkeeper and auditor to ensure compliance with relevant frameworks
  • Developing financial forecasts, management accounts and other financial reports
  • Implementing financial controls and policies across Headway SELNWK
  • Lead on fundraising in conjunction with all staff, Trustees, members, volunteers and external contractors (such as professional fundraisers)
  • Develop, implement and evaluate Headway SELNWK’s fundraising strategy; work towards a business case for recruiting a fundraising team.
• Overseeing human resources
  • Working with the Senior Management Team and Trustees, to ensure the charity recruits, trains and retains outstanding members of staff
  • Supporting development of competency framework, performance review and CPD
  • Implementing HR policies across Headway SELNWK
• Overseeing information systems
  • Working with external providers to build information systems capacity within the charity
  • Ensuring that members of staff are equipped to make best use of IT capacity and information

Interviews are scheduled for week commencing 9th December 2019

Head of Operations

The Good Food Institute Europe

Helping people, animals and the planet by building a new organisation in Europe to promote plant-based and cultivated meat

Industrial animal agriculture is at the root of many of the most pressing global issues of our time, from climate change and global hunger to antibiotic resistance and the exploitation of billions of animals annually.

The Good Food Institute (GFI) is at the forefront of the movement to use food technology and markets to replace the products of industrial animal agriculture with plant-based and cultivated alternatives. 

We are just getting started in Europe and are looking for a Head of Operations to help build, from scratch, an effective and impactful organisation.

Reporting directly to the Managing Director of GFI Europe, you will be in charge of setting up and running the entire day-to-day operations of GFI in Europe, starting with our bases in the UK and Belgium. Your performance in this role has the potential to make a significant impact on how quickly Europe and the world moves to a more ethical and sustainable food system.

Alongside the Head of Operations, we are also recruiting for a Head of Philanthropy and Development. Together with the Managing Director, you will form the nucleus of our new organisation and help to drive concrete change in the European and global food system. We will start off as a small team, and plan to grow in future.

The Head of Operations will:

• Establish and run all aspects of GFI Europe’s operations - building, from the ground-up, an effective, impactful, happy organisation.

Review and periodically update the GFI Europe Employee Handbook and respond to staff inquiries regarding GFI’s policies.
• Oversee new employee recruitment efforts, including writing job descriptions, evaluating candidates, onboarding and training.
• Negotiate and manage relationships and contracts with lawyers, accountants, insurers, PR agencies, and other service providers.
• Coordinate with GFI colleagues in the USA to ensure compliance with GFI’s financial and legal reporting systems and obligations.

• Organize team retreats and travel.
• Manage a GFI Europe Intern and Fellow Program, including assisting with intern/fellow onboarding and management.
• Assist the Managing Director, providing diary, administrative and research support as required.
• Perform the above duties for both of GFI Europe’s legal entities, in the UK and Belgium. Over time, oversee and drive GFI’s expansion to other countries in Europe, including setting up legal entities and operational systems in those countries.
• Represent GFI Europe in meetings with stakeholders and potentially at public events.
• Perform any other duties assigned by the Managing Director. As we are a start-up, you will be expected to help with a wide range of different functions on an ad hoc basis.

Who We’re Looking For

• A positive, can-do, hands-on attitude. You must be willing to help with a range of tasks, some of which will be repetitive and unglamourous, and some of which may be unrelated to your core tasks.
• A high degree of organization and efficiency.

The ideal candidate would also have:

• Experience in successfully setting up a new organisation from scratch - e.g. a UK charity.

Prospectus is delighted to be working with The London Community Foundation (LCF) to recruit to two newly created Head of Grant Operations roles.

The Organisation

LCF is dedicated to improving the lives of London's most disadvantaged. Child poverty, unemployment, isolation, homelessness, domestic violence and gang crime are just some of the issues being tackled through grant making. To date, they have raised over £100m for community-based organisations, deploying more than £80m in grants and building up an endowment of £20m. The charity holds a unique position in the Capital; they collaborate across public, private (individual) and corporate donors to raise funds to support London's grassroots organisations. They support donors to achieve their philanthropic aims whilst meeting the needs of London's communities. This dual purpose makes LCF unique as a grant maker in London. Following the launch of a new strategy in April of this year, the ambition is to grow LCF's reputation as a leading vehicle for London's giving.

The Role

Reporting into the Director of Grants and Impact, The Head of Grant Operations roles support the delivery of quality efficient and effective operations to ensure delivery of LCF's objectives. Key deliverables include grant operations management, donor relationship and account management, people management, and senior programme management as a key member of the middle management team. As a Head of Grant Operations your role will include overseeing grant operations processes, donor relationship management, staff development and bespoke project and programme management. You will have the opportunity to develop and continuously improve operational standards leading a small team to ensure the delivery of high quality, efficient and effective grants and donor relationship management.

The Person

We are looking for dynamic, enthusiastic, future leaders with people management experience. We are hoping to find two individuals with complementary skills, both bringing their own experience and expertise in different areas. Strong team management and performance management skills are essential, as well as a track record in managing change in complex environments. An understanding of the social sector is important, but experience of working for a grant funder is not essential for both roles. You may be a senior leader in a charity or social enterprise, or have worked in the corporate sector in Corporate Social Responsibility or, you may have other transferable skills. Your experience of managing complex external relationships will be important as will your financial literacy, risk and project management skills. Curious, with a desire to develop your understanding about how communities are tackling a range of social issues - from the integration of refugees and asylum seekers, through to improving the environment or reducing crime, you will be able to distil this knowledge into valuable insight to share with others, including potential donors. You are someone who thrives in a supportive environment that encourages you to take on new challenges, learn and improve.

If this sound like you and your ambition matches ours - to see a strong and vibrant London for everyone - please get in touch now!

When Life Gives You Sour Lemons, Make Lemonade...

We’re looking for someone who is excited by (and highly skilled in) finance, commercial management, processes, people, culture and compliance. Basically all the things that will build our infrastructure and set us up to succeed in the way we do business.

This is the HOW person: 

“ok, we’ve got a big vision, we’ve got funding to make it happen; HOW are we going to not only deliver what we need to, but create a future where Sour Lemons is sustainably bringing about change?”

We recognise the importance of having a senior member of staff who has 'got the charities back'. The Operations and Finance lead is a crucial role and the third position we've created. 

We need someone to lead on the business operations of Sour Lemons which will support the Founder and Chief Executive to focus on creating the next part of our strategy and generating the income to go with that.

The right candidate will be able to flip between digging down deep into the detail, to high-level imaginative problem solving that allows us to stay nimble in a challenging context. You will have varied experience of all aspects involved in running a small organisation and the knowhow to confidently lead in areas of finance, HR, governance, contracts and policies (including diversity and inclusion).
